Raffinaderijen bottleneck zwavelnorm
De strenge emissie-eisen waaraan de zeevaart in 2015 (SECA-gebieden 0,1% zwaveloxide) en 2020 (overige gebieden 0,5% zwaveloxide) moet voldoen, leiden waarschijnlijk tot nog hogere brandstofkosten en problemen bij het raffinageproces.

Follow-up: FairTransport
Did you know that the world’s 16 largest ships produce as much emissions as all the cars in the world? Since Jorne Langelaan spoke at TEDxAmsterdam 2010 we know what to do: stop using engines and start using sails. Jorne told Tim how things are with FairTransport, one of five ideas supported by Ideas Worth Doing.
It wasn’t easy to reach Jorne because at this very moment he’s sailing the Tres Hombres, a cargo ship using wind as it’s only fuel. When Jorne answered my questions he just arrived in Porto, where the ship will host an event about sustainability in Portugal.

Ideas Worth Doing – Dutch province Fryslân backs Ecoliner
In a – for our FairTransport team certainly – momentous speech in Leeuwarden last Thursday, John Jorritsma, Commissioner to the Queen, announced that the province of Fryslân will actively back the Idea Worth Doing: Ecoliner. A cash injection of 150 thousand euro’s is provided to help get that first ship built. And furthermore, the province has applied for European money as well, bringing the end target of 15 million euro’s closer in reach.

Bouw zeilend containerschip kan in Harlingen
Harlingen is de ideale plaats om te starten met de bouw van zeilende zeevrachtschepen. Dergelijke vrachtvaarders kunnen de helft aan brandstof besparen. Gedeputeerde Staten trekken er 150.000 euro voor uit om de bouw van het eerste schip op weg te helpen. Dat zei Commissaris van de Koningin John Jorritsma vandaag bij de opening van de Noordzeedagen in Leeuwarden.

Traditional Sailing Vessel Inter-Island By Lisa Davis-Burnett
Unlike the few remaining tall ships that are meant for display or charter, Tres Hombres is a working boat, making money the way boats of her type have for centuries, hauling cargo. I had the chance to see the boat first hand this week, and meet her very interesting crew.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
